Mandy Greaves , BACP

Mandy Greaves is a UK-licensed integrative counsellor with five years of professional experience who tailors her work to the individual pace and needs of each client. She holds a Ba (Hons) degree - an undergraduate honours degree - and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), following their code of practice and receiving regular clinical supervision to support her professional development.

Mandy offers an empathetic, non-judgemental space where people can bring difficult thoughts and feelings, including persistent negative thinking, overthinking about the past or future, and emotions that interfere with everyday life. She works collaboratively to unpack painful experiences and build practical skills that help clients feel lighter and more empowered. Her integrative approach combines ideas and interventions from a range of counselling models so that therapy is shaped to the unique needs of each person rather than a single method.

She has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Mandy aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she invites those taking the first step toward therapy to be acknowledged for their courage.

Integrative approaches and flexible online care

Integrative therapy combines techniques and insights from different counselling models so that the work is shaped around the client rather than a single method. This means Mandy can draw on exploratory talking therapies to help uncover patterns and on practical interventions to develop new coping skills - useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes.

Alongside an integrative framework, Mandy uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on building skills and strategies tailored to the presenting difficulty. These approaches help clients manage overwhelming thoughts, regulate emotions, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mandy works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexible ways to access support without being tied to a single location. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
